that was calm. but he was approachable. if you go up to him he would speak to you and say hello, how are you? he would smile. a big friendly giant. the little brother was a little more outgoing. >> thank you for your thoughts in what could have turned these young men into suspected terrorists. the delicate process of questioning the suspect once he gets out of the hospital. oh, she only uses tide vivid detergent plus boost

it's the bottom of the area. welcome back. i am john berman in boston. this morning, elation and relief. an emotional night. 19-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev in a hospital under heavy guard. this image shows him bloody on a boat in a backyard in watertown. he was captured last night after a dramatic gunfight with police. it was this tweet that confirmed what residents had been hoping for since monday's bombing that read, suspect in custody. and the fbi added the word "captured" to its wanted poster. and just because the suspect is in custody it does not mean this drama is order. authorities have decided how to

handle him right now. for more we are joined by the expert in international security and a research associate. you live in watertown and you have been going through this for the last few days. what has that been like? >> surreal, you know. yesterday i wake up to the sounds of helicopters over my house. i look out from my front porch and i can see police officers who closed off streets. i try to make it to my television studio, in watertown, and so driving there and negotiating with police to get there, and dozens of police officers going house to house, you know, obviously even before that learning the previous evening that a fellow employee at mit, a police officer had been assassinated. my children know -- had friends who are friends with the suspects. >> this is a crazy story.

and authorities decided not to read the suspect his miranda warnings and rights. what advantage does that give them now? >> as it was being discussed last night, he is still entitled to his miranda rights. what it means any information they collected before giving that warning cannot be used in court against him. but they probably have a ton of data already. they probably don't need a confession, and they don't need questions that lead to evidence for the prosecution, because they have the video evidence and they have forensic evidence, and i am sure they have dna evidence now because there has been blood and a fight. so they are more interested in trying to get information for him to identify whether there are any more accomplices or relationships to foreigners. >> is there anybody else out there? >> of course, that's question number one. and for the information gathering they are doing now is

totally separate from the case they will be making in court. >> they are trying to piece together not just the last few days but in some cases the last year, or more than a last year, and one of the questions is the older brother went back to russia for six months. what was he doing there? and then there's word that the fbi actually questioned the older brother at the request of a foreign government. so the fbi had contact with one of the men now suspected of setting off the bombs at the boston marathon. did they miss something? >> well, john, it's a tough question. at some level the answer is yes, because they talk to him and then he becomes involved in an terrorists attack. there will be an assessment and they will walk through what they did right and what they did wrong, all the way down from the watertown police. and they interview a lot of people, the fbi. they want a wide circle, and that will include a lot of people that are not criminals are not going to be prosecuted.

the other thing if he did not say anything actionable in the interviews. >> they talked to him at the request of a foreign government. we don't know why. but what types of reasons might a foreign government have for asking the fbi to talk to this man? >> again, this is all in the area of speculation. i have to underline that. but imagine if his motivation has to do with the caucuses and ties to chechens and that sort of things. obviously russia fought a bloody civil war against chechen rebels, and he visited russia and under those circumstances he may have drew the attention of the foreign government. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you, john. a lot of other news going on in the world. 14 people dead and 16 others missing. we will go to west, texas, and

devastating. >> i have been a member of the fire department for 26 years. these guys were my friends. one of them was my city secretary. he had access to our facebook page that we can't get into because that was his little job, and i talked to him everyday. now he is not here. it's devastating. and that's -- that's all i can say about it. >> that was the mayor of west,

texas. tommy muska talking about the volunteer firefighters killed this week in the huge fertilizer plant explosion. >> so powerful, it registered as a seismic event and leveled parts of the town and 14 people lost their lives. 200 were injured. martin savidge is live in west, texas. there are still who are unaccounted for. thankfully not as many as reported earlier, some 60 then but now only a handful. how likely is it they will find those people alive? >> reporter: not too likely. this is no longer a search and rescue mission, it's search and recovery, and that's a clear indication if they do find anybody they probably won't be alive. yesterday they talked about 60 unaccounted for, and today they

said it's about a handful, and they have one other building that needs to be searched. the problem and the reason it has been slow, the devastation is so extensive, and before teams can go in to look for anybody live or dead, they have to make sure the building is structurally sound. they have to rebuild the building before they can dig down there. it's hope, as horrible as this sounds, that 14 may be the maximum of the death toll, but it's not for certain. you should point out the vast majority of the death toll are the first responders, the 45 volunteer firefighters and emss as well, and other firefighters that did not work for this fire department, and the vast majority those who went right away and helping to evacuate, and it's believed that the evacuation got a lot of people out of harm's way, and they bought time but paid for it with their own lives. you mention the 200

hospitalized, that number greatly reduced but still over a dozen, and those in the hospital are still in a very rough way. >> the pictures of the destruction are staggering right now. you see the structures just simply leveled. where does the investigation stand into what caused the blast? >> reporter: it's just beginning, john. and it's a question that everybody in the town has been asking. what was it that caused the blast that could be felt so far away. over 15 miles away. it was a fertilizer plant so there were a lot of chemicals at play, and some were gases, and all of them could have been highly toxic. and there were concerns about the tauboxic, and is that no lor a fear down there. as far as the cause, a lot of groups are investigating, and you have the chemical industry

that is investigating, and so separate channels all looking at it with great expertise, but it will take a long time to determine. and the company owner, he is a local man, and he released a statement. and i won't read it to you right now, we'll have it later, it's extremely heartfelt. can you tell this man locally is heartbroken as is the community. one of his employees was also one of the firefighters, and he points out that this is something that will devastate the community for years, generations, he says, to come. john? >> marti kwreupb sain sa kwreui. thank you. next, we will take you live to moscow. find out how the tragedy could reset u.s. relations with russia. we will have the incredible story of an elite wheelchair

as a result fr monday's boston attack at the marathon, 13 people have had limbs amputated. >> a loss of an arm or leg doesn't mean you have to give up on the activities you love in life. >> we want to introduce you to a

woman that ran in boston's marathon, and all without the use of her legs. >> it was her first boston her boston marathon, tatiana mcfadden had won, placed if, in the wheelchair division. >> my family was there, had tears in their eyes and joy and we celebrated a little bit at the finish line. >> reporter: hours after she finished her race the bomber struck. >> we went into a lockdown, firefighters were running to our hotel make sure there was nothing at our hotel, going into all the bathrooms. we immediately moved to the lobby. >> reporter: it must have been terrifying. >> it was chaos. >> reporter: tatyana was born in st. petersburg with spina bifida. she was sent to live in an orphanage. >> i walked on my hands in the

orphanage, no wheelchair. i just hung on to life and i had a lot of hope. >> reporter: hope arrived when her new adopted mother, working in russia for the u.s. health department, took notice of the sick little girl. >> when my mom walked through that door, i knew she was going to be my mom and life definitely changed for me. >> reporter: tatyana was brought to the united states. >> to even sit like this it was awkward. i thought i had minimal time to live. >> reporter: she played sports to help her recovery and she thrived in the athletic world. now she hopes her story will inspire others. many of the victims of the bombing blast lost limbs, the road to recovery likely to be a long andard deu arar arduous pr. what advice would you give them?

>> even in a wear or wearing prosthetics, you can do it. >> reporter: less than a week after the tragedy, tatyana will race in the london marathon. now more resolve than ever. >> i am really looking forward to racing on sunday and it's going to be a tough race. it's a very flat course so it's going to be a very tight finish and on sunday i'll be racing for those in boston and it's really carrying them in my heart. >> reporter: erin mclaughlin, cnn, london. >> such a nice story. i'm struck by the words the president had in the prayer service told those who have been injured, you will race again. there's been a lot of reaction around the world for the boston marathon bombing of course and the capture of the brothers believed to be be responsible for this terrible tragedy. >> the brothers are original ly from russia. they came to the u.s. a decade

ago. tell us more about the reaction in russia to all of this. >> good morning. at a time when u.s./russian relations are very poor. this event could bring the countries closer together in one way. russia's president vladimir putin has phoned barack obama to offer condolences and to pledge and commit to greater support, greater coordination in dealing with the threat of international terrorism. this is something that russia has been pushing for, arguing for, for a long time now, and the u.s. president is said to have returned that commitment. john, christine? >> as you said this puts the tensions between russia and check nia into the spotlight. will this have larger implications in that tension? >> this is the important context here. russia has been fighting wars and counter insurgency operations in chechnya and the surrounding region for almost 20

years now, that is becomes increasingly islamists in their intentions and those same militants and terrorists from that region have also launched devastating atacks here in moscow and other parts of russia as well. russia has always argued its efforts to put down these militants should be viewed within the same context as the global war on terrorism but russia has always felt it hasn't got the sympathy it deserves in trying to deal with this threat that's largely because the international community has been concerned about human rights abuses by russian forces in that territory. but we don't know the precise words that were spoken between the two presidents in that telephone conversation but i suspect this was probably very much a theme. russian officials have been saying in response to all of this, we've been saying this for a long time now, terrorism is terrorism. you can't different shiate whert comes from and as a result all countries need to cooperate m e

floodwaters have thousanded thousands to evacuate their homes around illinois. >> we check in with meteorologist alexandra steele in atlanta to get some sense of when that area might dry out. >> the upper midwest and flash flooding isn't the concern, it's this river flooding we're seeing and what we're going to see is these rivers really peak at historic levels from north to south, the cascading effect as all that water goes downstream. this is showing you where all the flood wrngz are, we're seeing flooding now or flooding is eminent. it's really illinois, indiana

and lower michigan the biggest concerns. we've seen homes evacuated, shelters open, roads closed, the edens, kennedy, all the expressways were closed early yesterday because of flooding. they had about five to seven inches of rain in a very short period of time. the des plains river in chicago major flooding. the illinois, the tributary of the mississippi historic crest monday night into tuesday and the illinois river peoria is the biggest concern, the mississippi river between the quad cities and st. louis the biggest thread, maybe the third worst flooding we've seen and how ironic is it mississippi last spring we had such drought conditions and now we have such flooding and the problem, john and kristine, we have more rain coming this way on tuesday so that's where the biggest problems will be right around that same area. >>
